Chapter 207 Forced Acquisition
Chen Xiao'er finished the last bite of her ice cream's chocolate chip horn and took a deep breath as she gazed at the skyscraper in the distance. What an outrageous skyscraper! Building this landmark must have cost hundreds of millions, right?
The appearance of the high-rise building is very similar to a luxury holiday hotel, the kind that comes to make rich people money during the peak season.
But for some reason, there were so many luminous signboards densely packed around the outside of the building that at first glance I thought I had arrived at the Kowloon Walled City before it was demolished.
This tall building stands alone in a corner of the scenic area, surrounded by open lawns. It seems that this scenic area has not yet been fully developed, and there is still a lot of space reserved.
"~" Xinaya quietly stretched out her claws.
Snap!
Chen Xiao'er swiftly slapped her claws away and walked forward hand in hand with Ling.
Xinnaya was not annoyed. Seeing her smiling face, she thought she was out for a walk with two close friends and then having a big meal.
But there might really be a restaurant in that tall building across the street.
Chen Xiao'er secretly decided that if Xinnaya was really willing to help after entering, she would reluctantly pay for this guy's meal to fulfill the original agreement.
The golden gate opened before their eyes, like a tiger crouching on the ground with its mouth wide open. The dazzling patterns brought a heart-pounding sense of oppression.
Phew~ Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's just a small scene.
Chen Xiao'er took a deep breath and carefully calmed her pounding heart.
I'm holding onto Ling's arm now, and I have a perverted rich second-generation guy behind me to help me. There's no way I'll be grabbed by the neck and thrown out by the security guard.
She straightened her chest and stepped firmly on the ground with her sneakers, making a tapping sound, which combined with the light and heavy sounds of the leather shoes on both sides.
Chen Xiao'er's face was tense, and her heart skipped a beat when she saw the two security guards at the door.
They are a man and a woman, one on the left and one on the right.
The arms of the two security guards are twice as thick as those of an average person, and their legs are also very strong. It can be seen that they have been well trained. It seems that they can send a tiger flying with a sliding tackle.
Would luxury hotels and office buildings generally hire two Schwarzeneggers who are nearly 2 meters tall to guard the gate?
Chen Xiao'er's heart was pounding, and she wanted to run out and find Sister Lan immediately.
If Ling and Xinnaya hadn't been with her, she would have already been holding her bag and asking passers-by, "Excuse me, where is the toilet?"
Chen Xiao'er walked in nervously, wishing her small handbag would turn into nothing.
Bang!
A muffled sound startled her and she turned around suddenly, just in time to see Xinnaya arrogantly slamming her shoulder into the security guard on the right.
She wore sunglasses and put her hands in her pockets. Her emerald eyes were filled with malicious provocation, which made Chen Xiao'er's heart skip a beat. "Xinaya, what are you doing?"
Xinnaya didn't deny it. She shrugged calmly and said, "I'm used to it. Since you don't allow me to, I'll just pretend to be good."
"I'm just eating a couple of small shrimps. Since you don't allow me to, I won't eat them for now."
You, you guy.
"Pfft." Chen Xiao'er stared at her and then laughed angrily: Forget it, what's the point of arguing with her? The more you care about her, the more she likes to act crazy.
"I'm sorry, this person didn't look at the road when she walked." Chen Xiao'er turned around and apologized to the security guards sincerely.
The two sturdy security guards averted their gaze, their hands firmly clasped together, not moving. It seemed they didn't want to provoke the tycoon-like Xinaya.
Chen Xiao'er understood and quickened her pace, leading the two of them along the red carpet into the hall. Suddenly, the view before them opened up to a large area that stretched from top to bottom.
The structure inside the hall is very similar to some commercial cities on Blue Star. It is hollow in the middle, and guests can look up from the first floor and see the blue sky through the glass curtain.
It was already night, and the stars twinkling on the ceiling were probably not the real sky, but a magical effect of the display.
The four walls are surrounded by circular corridors, and a large number of rooms are built above the corridors and in the staggered corners.
Chen Xiao'er lowered her head and glanced at her phone: It's only 7:10 in the evening, and it's still a long way from the 9 o'clock agreed upon with Sister Lan.
How about we go to the top floor and watch a movie first?
She turned along the corridor to the other side, and sure enough, there was a staircase-style revolving elevator.
Strangely, there is no store map next to the elevator, which is common in shopping malls. Guests can easily get lost and not find the store they want to go to.
The entire first floor is lined with jewelry stores, with gold and jade items sparkling under the lights.
There are a lot of gem mines in Chixing. Pure rubies and sapphires the size of a fingernail are placed directly under the counter, and they are not afraid of being taken away.
The second floor is full of snack shops, and you can smell the rich sweet aroma without even walking up to them.
The puffs and donuts looked generous with their fillings, and the chocolate had a vibrant color. Unfortunately, they had just had dinner and ice cream, so they couldn't afford any extra sweets.
Chen Xiao'er stood in the elevator going up, and all she saw on the third floor were clothing stores.
Plastic mannequins stand in glass display cases, wearing everything from mink coats to swimsuits, completely disregarding the season and style of the clothes. They are lined up side by side to show the colorful designs to the guests.
When the elevator floated to the fourth floor, a shop that interested Chen Xiao'er finally appeared: a handicraft shop, many of which sold souvenirs specially provided by the scenic spot.
......
"She's already entered the core area. How could it be so simple?"
Observer 12 muttered something, then continued observing with his eyes wide open like his colleagues. Meanwhile, the recorder next to him took out a pen and began scribbling furiously, typing away on his computer.
[Reset to Zero] once again demonstrated its power.
Originally, Chen Xiao'er needed a "normal" process to break through the abnormal area.
Except for two battles for power, she always feels at ease in the abnormal area, but it still takes some time to crack the "door lock".
This abnormal area is obviously stronger than the one where the energy stone is active, but she strolls around in it, going upstairs when she wants and looking wherever she wants.
The anomalies in the area would not attack the invaders, let alone attack them. Even if Chen Xiao'er went straight to the core area and took out the core and kicked it like a ball, they would kneel beside her and shout "Good kick, sir".
Moreover, the things displayed in the glass cabinets were not commodities at all, but strange objects in distorted shapes.
"The Newborn Snake isn't with Chen Xiao'e right now." The expert assistant whispered, "The transformation of the artifact's form should be temporary. If we gather all of these artifacts..."
......
Beep beep.
Chen Xiao'er's phone vibrated, and she swiped her finger and a text message popped up.
Lin Yi: Mr. Chen, the student union only has one more day to distribute flyers before we have to rush back to school. Could you please buy us some souvenirs? I've already transferred the money to your account.
Beep beep.
Transfer...how many digits did she transfer? !
Chen Xiao'er counted and found that there were six zeros after the 9?!
Xiao Ai: President, you transferred nine million to me?! You typed the wrong number QAQ.
Lin Yi: That's right, you prioritize buying expensive souvenirs.
Lin Yi: Watches, jewelry, and other things are up to you. You can add to the budget.
Chen Xiao'er looked at her phone speechlessly: I don't have time to watch a movie now. Maybe I will have to ask Sister Lan to find a car to help transport things.
Spending 9 million on a trip to buy souvenirs? It definitely wasn't paid for by the school. The seniors in the student union are really rich.
But spending all 9 million was still too much. Chen Xiao'er nervously tugged at Ling's finger and said, "The president transferred 9 million to me so I can buy something. Is that okay?"
Ling smiled calmly: "No problem." She said it was no problem in the same calm tone as if she was talking about spending 15 yuan to buy fruit.
"Shopping?" Xinnaya finally found a chance to interrupt. She raised her right hand and knocked on the glass, making a crisp sound.
The arrogant rich second generation leaned against the display cabinet and smiled evilly: "What are you paying for? Just ask me to clear out everything here, no big deal."
"What are you worried about? Beg me. I can help you pack up everything here without losing any energy."
How rich are you, man?...and your smile is so perverted.
After Chen Xiao'er refreshed her cognition, she frowned and waved her hand: "I don't want you to pay, go away."
Seeing the girl waving her hands gently, Xinnaya chuckled: Chen Xiao'er's tone was very calm, and her heartbeat was only slightly accelerated, not showing any negative emotions such as fear and anger.
In my new understanding of humans, she was—acting like a spoiled brat.
So cute.
She covered her chest after Chen Xiao'er turned around and said: Before I met you, I never thought that one day I would find humans [cute].
......
Chen Xiao'er walked into the gift shop with her mobile phone and started shopping.
The ceramic figures in the first row were very cute, so I bought them.
The crystal balls in the second row are very beautiful, so I bought them.
I bought one of each style of bookmarks in the third row.
The salesperson followed behind her, trembling and almost breaking the machine while scanning the code. She spent a long time at the counter scanning and spent less than 10,000 yuan, her hands were almost full.
Chen Xiao'er looked at the souvenirs of all sizes in her and Ling's hands, and simply stuffed them all at Xinnaya: "You take it first."
"Send it to me?"
"Help me get it!"
"good."
After clearing her hands, Chen Xiao'er rushed to the first floor and started wandering around the jade bracelets and gemstone watches.
[Xiao Ai: I'm almost out of space here. President, are you going to buy watches, jade, and gold items worth hundreds of thousands of dollars?]
【Lin Yi: Buy it.】
Okay, you said it.
Chen Xiao'er quickly selected several exquisite watches and necklaces that caught her eye. Her taste suggested these items could easily be given as gifts even if the president didn't like them.
Generally speaking, people who work in sales would definitely welcome the rich to go on a shopping spree in luxury stores. Seeing her spending so hard, she would be laughing so hard that her mouth would crackle.
But when she chose the items and asked the salesgirl to pack them up, the salesgirl actually covered her face and started crying.
Is he crazy with joy?
Chen Xiao'er looked at the salesgirl who was crying very sadly and was confused: I'm the one paying, why are you crying like I'm stealing something?
Beep beep.
"8, 8.12 million, woooo." Fortunately, the salesgirl was crying, even with tears streaming down her face, she still packed the items in gift boxes and handed them over one by one.
"Are you okay?" Chen Xiao'er took the gift box containing the luxury watch and asked weakly.
After handing over the items, the other party slowly curled up behind the counter and lowered his head to his knees: "It's okay, you, you didn't make it difficult for me, it's me, I can't do it for much longer, wuwu."
"It's alright, you're so generous and willing to let me go. It's just that all my efforts over the years have been wasted."
It seems that after resigning out of sorrow, she won't be able to earn that much money anymore? Chen Xiao'er hurried out of the store with her things and took the elevator upstairs.
She looked at her phone. It was already past 8 o'clock. Sister Lan should be here soon, right?
Xiao Ai: Sister Lan, I'm here. When will you arrive?
【Lan: Immediately.】
【Lan: Go upstairs, to the casino on the top floor.】
......
"Great! Those things must be worth a lot of money!" The observer shouted excitedly, but behind him there was a cry of "Oh no——"
"What's wrong?"
The person at the back covered his face as he shared the latest feedback: "We're down the equivalent of one Energy Stone in our backup energy tank."
"So many?!" The enthusiasm on everyone's faces suddenly diminished a lot.
They had originally hoped to have Chen Xiao'er become the school's full-time buyer, going on a shopping spree in various unusual areas. It turned out that payment was still required, and their hopes of buying for free were completely dashed.
The experts on the panel weren't surprised. "In Chen Xiao'er's eyes, she's buying souvenirs for the student union, and we're the ones paying for it."
Moreover, this kind of transaction involves concepts. Not only can the abnormal party's items near Chen Xiao'er be forcibly taken away, but the church's backup energy can also be directly taken away by bypassing the heavy guards.
The recorder quickly entered a new entry according to the instructions above.
[The power of zeroing (power) involves concepts and needs to be used with caution]
